A female supporting character who travels through time and has a spatial ability becomes the darling
Chapter 153 Underestimating this young man
Eating at a state-run restaurant, there were ten dishes for ten people of all ages. They had to put two long tables together to get a seat. From ordering to serving the food, Xie Yicheng was busy the whole time.
He took good care of Yun Shu's parents, as well as Xiao Ze and Xiao Wan from Wang Min's family. He even discussed with the head chef to serve a hot soup first, so that Yun Shu's parents could have a bowl.
After all, after such a long train ride, even a sleeper berth isn't as convenient as having your feet firmly on the ground.
The menu was packed with staple foods, including rice, noodles, porridge, and pan-fried dumplings—meat, vegetables, light, and oily options. Xie Yicheng ordered almost everything on the menu.
Xie Yicheng even placed the noodles in front of Yun Shu's parents and explained to them that they have a custom of "dumplings before boarding and noodles upon disembarking," which is why they ordered these two bowls of hot soup noodles.
The customs of any place are most likely to be about wishing for the safety and well-being of the people you care about, so Yunshu's parents appreciated it very much.
Moreover, the hot beef noodle soup was indeed very delicious. The Northeast rice was fragrant, and the noodles were chewy and smooth. After consulting with Yun Shu, who emphasized that the key to good food is to avoid disappointment, these two bowls of noodles definitely added points for Xie Yicheng.
"Thank you for your kindness, Xiao Xie, please have a seat."
"Oh, thank you, Uncle."
Xie Yicheng carefully arranged the dishes brought by the waiter, and subconsciously placed the two dishes that Yun Shu liked in front of her. Upon hearing Yun Shu's father's words, Xie Yicheng immediately responded and then obediently sat down next to Yun Shu.
Yun Shu's parents had been observing Xie Yicheng, and naturally they had also seen his actions in taking care of their daughter. The couple didn't say anything when they saw the two dishes, but just exchanged a silent glance.
At times like these, one shouldn't be too quiet about eating or sleeping. However, because the atmosphere at the meal was so eerie, Yun Shu remained quiet and didn't interrupt, afraid that a word of defense or kindness from her would greatly increase the difficulty of Xie Yicheng's progress.
Because this kind of test can only be dealt with by Xie Yicheng alone, anyone else speaking up for him would only add fuel to the fire.
So after giving Xie Yicheng a helpless look, Yun Shu could only obediently lower her head and eat her rice, watching Xie Yicheng break out in a sweat as her parents forced her to speak with gentle, not serious, but sharp words.
……
Fortunately, Xie Yicheng was prepared. He and Yun Shu had discussed the college entrance examination together without telling either of them. Yun Shu herself hadn't given him a definite answer either, so he considered taking the college entrance examination in Beijing together as a backup plan.
He did not intend to quit his factory job before the country announced the resumption of the college entrance examination, and he would not give up his advantageous status even before he was admitted to university.
Of course, after graduating from university, you're guaranteed a job, and then you can sell that job to recoup some of your losses.
If Yun Shu continues to be denied the opportunity to return to the city, Xie Yicheng will strive to provide her with a better standard of living.
Because the Northeast has developed quite well and quickly in the past two years, Xie Yicheng is confident that he can be transferred to the city or province after working for another two years. If Yun Shu can marry him and transfer her household registration to his household registration book, she won't have to stay in Fengsheng Brigade forever.
In Qiqihar or Harbin, Yun Shu would have more job opportunities and would be closer to Beijing, so there would be fewer restrictions on going home.
……
If job opportunities become available in Beijing during this period, and Yun Shu is able to return, Xie Yicheng will respect Yun Shu's wishes.
Alternatively, if Yun Shu finishes her investigation, successfully joins the organization, and gets a job transfer opportunity to leave the brigade, or even leave the county or Qishi, Xie Yicheng will fully cooperate with Yun Shu.
Marrying Yun Shu was what he hoped for, but he wouldn't let it bind Yun Shu's wings. He wasn't the kind of person who would destroy something if he couldn't have it; he wanted Yun Shu to get better and better.
Between the two of them, he has always been the one to take the initiative. It's unreasonable to expect Yun Shu to compromise and accommodate his life plans after they've officially become a couple.
Since he likes Yun Shu, he hopes that Yun Shu can live a better life, and he will try his best to always be able to stand in a place where Yun Shu can see him without having to turn around.
Even if it means he has to work ten or a hundred times harder and pay a higher price than others, he is happy.
In short, Xie Yicheng made Yun Shu the core of his life plan; wherever Yun Shu was, he would be there too.
This does not conform to the most common phenomenon nowadays, where women accommodate men, follow in their footsteps, and give up their own interests and lifestyle habits.
Yun Shu's parents were at least somewhat surprised to hear these words, astonished that this young man was willing to go to such lengths for their daughter. Although he hadn't yet taken any action, the fact that he said it showed he had the intention, which was already quite commendable.
As for whether Xie Yicheng was just trying to appease them and would turn on them after they left, let's reiterate: their daughter has the opportunity and the cost of making mistakes.
But for other people... that's not necessarily the case.
……
Having reached this point, there was no need to hide anything anymore. Xie Yicheng clearly told Yun Shu's parents that he was currently dating Yun Shu with marriage in mind.
However, Yun Shu still has about three years until he reaches the legal marriage age. This period is neither too long nor too short, which is just the right time for Yun Shu and Xie Huaiqian to test him and for him to work hard to increase his chances and opportunities.
If by then Xie Huaiqian and his wife feel that they are not suitable for each other, or if Yun Shu also thinks that they don't need to get to the point of discussing marriage, then he will not pester them.
He promised to part ways amicably with Yun Shu and sincerely wished her a brighter future.
Because during this time, in addition to their relationship, they were also helping each other grow, both in terms of ability and other aspects.
However, if Yun Shu is still willing to be with him, and Xie Huaiqian and his wife approve of him as a person, then he hopes to marry Yun Shu three years later, when Yun Shu is twenty years old and he is twenty-four.
……
Very honest and straightforward.
Xie Huaiqian and his wife remained serious on the surface, but the smile in their eyes had deepened.
It has to be said that they really admire this young man named Xie Yicheng.
His composure, maturity, thoughtfulness, and most importantly, his prioritization of Yun Shu's needs were what pleased the couple the most.
Before coming here, they had considered how outstanding a "young talent" from a small county could be. Perhaps their daughter wasn't calm and rational enough when making this decision.
But now it seems that they underestimated their daughter and viewed this young man with prejudiced and unfair ideas.
